>> well, i've seen as i'm sure the committee has what the defense secretary has said. the transition is going to plan. there will be opportunities next year, i think, to make further withdrawals. we've already announced, the government has already announced that some 500 will be withdrawn by the end of this year. next year there will almost certainly be scope to take further decisions which the government hasn't yet taken, and i think you probably need to ask the defense secretary, you know, when he envisages that might be possible. >> because we are talking a timeline of slightly more than o two years, so i think things can change, i recognize that. >> but i think the prime minister has said what we're looking for is a slight pass towards the end of 2013, not a cliff edge. but the government will take those decisions when it's ready, and it -- >> well, events will clearly dictate rather than political decisions. i wouldn't ask you to comment on political decisions.

budget, even -- even the secretary of defense, the obama secretary of defense said it would be devastating. he used the word devastating. if that were not enough the obama administration continues to force the military to spend greater proportions of its already depleted funds on a gene energy agenda to include the purchase of biofuels for operational use in construction of commercial biofuel refineries. now, you know, i fully support development and use of alternative fuels including klug biofuels but not at the expense of the military. the focus should be on the readiness of the navy, not on propping up the biofuels industry. i have to remind everyone, we've a bureaucracy called the department of energy. they're the ones supposed to be doing all this experimentation we talk about. the navy according to the chief of a naval operations, admiral john greener will see a 15% increase in the number of ships and subs deployed with the number of ships in attack boats deployed at any time rising from 93 today to 107 by 2016. this increased deployment rate will impact sailors and marines as well a
